Many of these registered "demonstrators" are not used for taking prospective buyers for test drives either, so are as good as a new car with only maybe 50Kms on them.

Yep, My Calais V (VF2) had 15 kms on it but was sold as a demo.
I don't know how they get around whatever regulations are in place.
Mine was registered the day before they advertised it as a demo but I received all the new car stuff inc a letter from the CEO and a bunch of freebies (family portrait appointment, theatre tickets, leather, embossed, document pouch, logo'd key ring, plus other stuff I can't rem).
I'm not complaining as it was discounted thousands from new price but it has to be a rort.
